@john-folan Hi mate,
Just wondering do you have the filters for your dobs/trobs selections?

Yep. All posted over the last week at somepoint on this thread. Also check the first post on my resources thread.

I need to get a strategy thread going I reckon! What do people think?

No normal Trob selections today, but here are the debut selections of my Slow Horses dobbing strategy from the new software. Looks like a couple of selections tomorrow as well. Set these up to DOB just before the odds on horses that are above 5.0 in price only.

Lost overall but the bot works. More tomorrow. 2 points down today and break even on the short odd lay bot.

@john-folan do you have that set on your software? I know the horse racing software shows it on the back testing and the results can be pretty remarkable.

I remember a discussion on here a while back about the regularity of adjusting staking size. There didn’t seem to be a definite answer so always interested to hear how others do it

Thanks Martin. I’ve been trying to do that with my blog which is why the “belts” are at 50% increases. But I know fairbot let’s you stake as a % of bank roll and assume other software does the same.

I looked at one horse racing strategy which I compounded and it went from £1k up to £8k and finished at £5k. Fair enough if some software can do that for you, but that’s quite a bumpy ride for human to be putting on!

I check it to £1 level stakes(1 point). If that’s profitable I check it to compounding. Either at 2% or 1% of bank.

There’s been loads of arguments. But I find this works best for me.
